At SoundWare, we strive to make music software simple. As someone who enjoys producing a variety of music, you understand just how many options there are for creating the perfect sound. That said, you may often find yourself overwhelmed by numerous types of software with huge learning curves that require immense attention and skill.

So if you want to make your creative process as smooth as possible, hop on the new wave and start working with OCTANE. Our software is compatible with all major digital audio workstations, giving you access to a whole new world of opportunities. Learn more about OCTANE’s features in the following blog, and check our purchase options today!
Octane Plugin
The first major feature of OCTANE is the plugin itself, which gives you full control of beat-making software. In designing this plugin, we took into account the advice and needs of real music producers who understand the ins and outs of music creation. Rest easy knowing that we are not just any other company that wants to make a quick buck, as our goal is to help artists like you reach their dreams within the industry.
OCTANE comes with a huge number of presets and effects ready at your disposal, helping you find inspiration no matter the genre of your choice. With a simple-to-understand and use design, this audio software can help you discover the sounds for your next hit in seconds!
Some of our sound options include:
- Reverb
- Delay
- Filter
- Distortion
- Trance Gate
- 2 Arpeggiators
- Stereo Image
- And Much More!
Octane Store
The OCTANE store is one of the most unique features of our software, as it gives you access to thousands of sounds included with your initial purchase. Apply these new sounds directly to your favorite DAW, which helps you avoid the need to scavenge the internet to find sounds and import them into your VST or DAW.
When creating music, it is important to have a wide range of sound packs to help inspire your sound, as this can lead to some magical hits in the studio. Most other online beat makers simply provide you access to a limited range of effects, leaving you responsible for finding sounds to work with. OCTANE, on the other hand, wants to be your one and only source for your musical needs, so we constantly update the store with new sounds and options to implement into your sound.
Some of our most popular sound packs include:
- Gas pack
- Trap Star
- LoFi Vibes
- In my bag
- Love lust pack
- Future sounds pack
- High life pack
- Rave bae pack
- Retro pack
- NuWave pack
- And many more options!
Layers
Layers are an important part of music production as they allow you to combine multiple individual sounds to create a single, more complete sound. With OCTANE layers you can give that extra thickness to your sounds by layering samples, creating a unique sound that fits your style. As you begin to build a song, you want to give each sample added finesse it needs to sound great with the right tone. With our simple-to-use software, layering has never been easier, as we let you turn your idea into reality.
Our layering options will let your DAW do things you never thought possible including:
- ADSR – Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Release
- Tuning
- Arpeggiator
- Reverse
- Ring Modulation
- Tremolo
- And many other options!
Equalizer
Any successful audio software needs an equalizer option that allows you to perfect the song you have just created. As one of the most known forms of audio processing, equalization allows you to adjust the volume level of a frequency within a sound, which lets you remove any imperfections from the beat. OCTANE’s six-band equalizer gives you all the options you need to balance out the sounds and frequencies so that the song sounds exactly how you want. Whether you just need to perfect a few seconds worth of beat or your entire song, our equalizer feature gives you the opportunity to hone your craft as you want it!
Dynamics
Music dynamics refers to the variations in the volume of a specific aspect within your beat. For example, adding in the extra “oomph” your 808 kick needs to truly bring the beat together. This aspect of OCTANE’s software lets you make your drum beats hit harder, which is always something people love in music nowadays. 808s have been used in trap beats, hip-hop, EDM, and many other genres for decades, so it is only right that we offer this option to you as a music producer.
Our dynamic tab comes with:
- Exciter
- Compressor
- Expander
Lo-Fi
Lo-Fi style beats have been all the rage throughout the last few years, as their unique sound makes for a relaxing beat to truly vibe to. Not only that, but if you are an artist who also partakes in the vocal side of things, these beats are sure to get your creative juices flowing. Since Lo-Fi is a genre of music that is relatively new to the scene you will likely not find much beat-making software that offers specific tools dedicated to this style. But much like everything else OCTANE has to offer, we have a dedicated Lo-Fi tab with all of the options you need to succeed, giving you access to a whole range of unique effects and edits to incorporate into your craft.
Our Lo-FI tab includes the following options:
- Hiss Depth
- Wear
- Gain
- Flutter – Depth, rate, wow depth, and wow rate
- Crackle – Depth and amount
- Bit Crusher – Noise, rate, bits, mix, gain, noise type, and noise algorithms
- Alongside a dedicated piano keyboard for additional sounds!
